Flow 2

Narwal is great! I have early access to the Flow 2 and it seriously impressed me.

If you can wait it out, I would. There's been a few very detailed reviews on r/Narwal from other early access users if you are interested. I LOVE the Flow 2 so far.

Well everyone's reviews will be different but it's widely known that the narwal has the best mopping system. Plus they just came out with narwal flow 2 which does an even better job

Seriously, no one has said the narwal flow yet? It's hands down the best robot mop. The vacuum does an amazing job too though if you're looking for the best of the best in terms of vacuuming there are others. The mop was the selling feature for me, none of the other robots come close in terms of mopping, it also has great object avoidance. The only downside is the app isn't the greatest. You can find a ton of comparisons on YouTube btw. https://youtu.be/ObkFtaJuChs?si=FuLLvSv9X2Bk3jFK

It's not much work at all, it self dries and cleans itself also the pad isn't hard to take out. Spinning pad robots don't do nearly as good of a job mopping unfortunately compared to a rolling mop

Well everyone's reviews will be different but it's widely known that the narwal has the best mopping system. Plus they just came out with narwal flow 2 which does an even better job

just a quick question, if you want exceptional mopping why don’t you get a roller/track Yes, they are more maintencr, but the Narwhal flow isn’t actually that much more maintencr becuase it uses a different system from every other robot to self clean its internal dirty water bin, you could also get the new narwhal flow 2 that is coming out. But the price of the normal flow will drop a lot now that the flow 2 is releasing

they dont nessarily clean better, they are slightly worse at dried on stains, but they are way better at cleaning actual dirt/mud/liquids because they self clean while cleaning, not just at the base station every 10 minutes. If you have no budget, i would say wait for the new narwhal flow 2 to come out and get that (obv depends on the reviews when it comes out, but i think its gonna be really good) , but you could also get the normal Narwhal Flow if you need one right now.

I would say with about 90 percent confidence that you should go with the flow 2. Its obviously not out yet, so it might have some issues, but the oringinal flow was amazing at mopping, and all the others have some pretty big downsides imo Dreame aqua 10: Lots of complaints baout leaky base and stuff, wouldnt reccomend taking the risk Roborock curv 2 flow: Only has 8 nozzles, and a lot of people are complaining about streaking because the water doesn't get evenly distributed on the roller. Ecovacs: I dont really like ecovacs, mostly because I always hear people complaining about them, which points to them not having the best quality control or build quality, but some people do have a good experience, so might be a good option, but I still think you should go with the flow.

Maybe wait fro the new narwhal flow 2 if you want really good mopping. But for pet hair I think the l50 ultra is the best. But if you want to go for roborock becauseo f the better build quality and customer support, the saros 10r would be good.

Yes: Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller, eufy Omni S2, and Narwal Flow 2. Not if you vacuum only. Depends how often you have it wash the mops. Yes.

Roborock. The one that truly makes my life easier is the Narwal Flow.

Yes. Narwal Flow. Yes, I used roller and spinning mops. Whether it will last long enough to clean the whole house in one go depends on the suction power. If max, unlikely. No, I don't think a big dustbin would necessarily be easier to manage.

Narwal Flow. I have it and recommend it.

Dreame, eufy, or Narwal.

It is constantly ignored, but the Narwal Flow is exactly the same clean requirement as a spinner, only has all the benefits of a track/mop as far as cleaning. What people say is there is much more cleaning/maintenance on the track/rollers, usually because the onbaord dirty water tank needs regular cleaning. The Flow is self cleaning that tank. Five months in with the Flow and never manually cleaned that tank and it has never smelled once. It also doesn't have a fluffer, which needs regular cleaning. You do need to clean the landing tray, but that's the same with a spinner. The Flow gives you a track/roller clean with a spinner maintenance. Edit - the scrapper needs cleaning monthly in my 1500 sqft, 3 time a week cleaning schedule. Takes 30 seconds. The Flow 2 is an upgrade, so you may want to wait for that in April, but I don't know that it's a substantial upgrade. The real upgrade is the obstacle avoidance that no one has seen. The obstacle avoidance on my Flow 1 is great, so even if you went Flow 1 you'd be impressed.

Has there been any indication when Dreame will come out with specs on their Ultra Roller? As more info continues to come out, the more confidence I have with my Narwal Flow purchase. I don't think it will be the perfect machine, but the overall collective reviews have it as a generational leap forward in mopping, and more than serviceable in vacuuming. My house is mostly hard floor, so it seems great. I just wish it had more field of view on the laser and they didn't screw their possible customers on the autofill base. The only thing that could give me pause is the Ultra Roller, but I've still seen nothing about it which lends me to believe they announced it on 8/6 only because the Flow was coming out the next day. Rush to market is never a good engineering strategy. Lack of information confirms that rush. The Pro Track could have been an attention contender which was the easy button, but Dreame decided either that was too expensive or too complex for the American market. Either reason is poor.

You are right. I've been waiting since January for the Flow. I'm not happy with how Narwal did this rollout with their autofill, but the robot still looks like it is meeting most of the hype, though nothing is definite without more real world use. The Pro Track could have swayed me, but you're right the roller version, whatever it looks like, probably won't be as effective as the track version.

No, it is obviously the better option for the Flow. Because of the cleaning cycle of the mop at the base station, the Flow uses a lot of water. It looks like the cleaning cycle is very effective at keeping the mop track clean, which is great. But, if you have the standard station like me, you'll have to fill up and empty the tanks often. Your version is much more seamless. The problem is Narwal knows it, so they are charging a lot more for your version during the pre-order period, and you don't get the benefit of the extended warranty or accessory grant. You are getting the better version because you can do multiple cleanings without intervening at all with the unit.

You are right that a person should wait if they are in no rush. I don't have a desperate need to upgrade my 6-year-old Roombas, but there has been considerable testing over the last several months by Betas with testimonials. The YouTube videos released in the last several weeks are mostly biased to some degree, but at least some do show the limitations. Jamie Andrews is very quantitative, and he's had the unit for 3 months. He showed navigation, suction, and corner side broom performances that were less than perfect, but overall, he said it was a solid performer, with mopping being top tier. I was most impressed with the base station cleaning. Someone elsewhere posted a terrific review of the internal dirt tank from a Chinese tester, who had run their version for many months and then took the robot apart to inspect the tank visually, and it looked new. Even if the Dreame Aqua 10 Pro Track was coming in September, I'm certain Narwal is the right machine for me. Moreover, the longer Dreame remains radio silent on the Aqua 10 Roller, the more evident it becomes that they are not ready to release it, and there are flaws in the Pro Track that prevented them from bringing it to the US.

I ordered the Flow with the Standard Base Station. I had intended to buy the Auto Fill Station, but their pre-order pricing strategy makes no sense to me. It's an extra $400, with no extended warranty and no accessory pack gift. Vacuum Chef yesterday released a video of his Flow experience, and the lack of obstacle avoidance on carpet was concerning. I was considering buying the Aqua 10 Pro Track instead of the Flow, as I figured it would be announced at the 8/6 event. I'd still consider moving from the Flow, as I'm not entirely satisfied with Narwal's rollout strategy and have some reservations about their obstacle avoidance capabilities. But there is very little information about the Aqua 10 Ultra Roller. Has anyone seen any videos or read any reviews beyond just that general Digitch article or that Tom's Guide blurb? Has this even been out in China yet? I'd like to know more about it before 9/1.

I do view that channel too. I'm anxious to see more detailed info on the Aqua line available for 9/1. It's been almost a week since the announcement, and there has been no release of any substantial information to inform a buying decision. Given Narwal's strong pre-order incentive for the standard base station package, it is hard to forego taking advantage of that, given the absence of information from Dreame. I assume there will be more information/videos/specs released before 9/1.

That is true, the spec doesn't tell you everything . If it has the same general structure of the Pro Track, you can make assumptions on performance. But, if there are structural differences, like the absence of a heating coil on board of the Ultra Roller, that is a significant deviation from the somewhat real-world tested Pro Track. I think many people on this feed are similar to me -- I want a machine that is cutting edge in cleaning, but I want to make sure to be as informed as possible before making a very large cash outlay. An uninformed decision can cost money, but so can analysis paralysis. Narwal provided a substantial incentive to adopt the standard base station Flow. If Dreame wants to influence buying decisions, they must provide information that prompts the buyer to consider alternatives. Just announcing something cool will be available on 9/1 does nothing for me. By that date my Flow will have done multiple cleanings on my marble and wood floors.

I am keeping my Flow order. Hopefully I'll have it by this time next week. I expect the navigation to be less efficient than a 360 tower, but that will just mean it takes longer to do a job. The upside far outweighs that issue of longer time commitment per cleaning. I put a lot of stock in Jamie Andrew reviews, and the Flow's LIDAR design was highlighted as a con. But, for the price right now, Narwal seems to give superior mopping with thorough system cleaning at the end of jobs. The obstacle avoidance and AI cleaning seem to continue to be at the top of the industry. Vacuum performance seems to be above average, though it may take multiple passes to capture everything in some circumstances. Whenever the Pro Track comes out, it will be more expensive with less capable AI and a requirement to clean the onboard dirty tank manually. The base station will need to be cleaned periodically, just like the Flow, though unlike the Flow you can't remove the landing dock so cleaning the Dreame dock will be harder. If I have to do more manual maintaintance on the Pro Track, it doesnt matter to me it navigates more efficiently. I'm not in a huge rush to buy something, but even if the Pro Track was coming out tomorrow, I'd stay Flow.

Vacuum Nerds tested at normal suction Narwal Flow is 55 db. Super Powerful setting is 65 dbs. Vacuum Wars should be releasing their video review any day now. It's currently rated at #2 on that site, so you can see objective results already. That site had an issue with a base station water reading in two successive units, but I haven't seen that anywhere else. I haven't heard that the Chinese version, which has been out for much of this year, is experiencing the same issue, so it appears to be an anomaly. There have been some issues reported with hard-plumbed base stations; some may be due to installation errors, while hardware failures may cause others. I've run mine multiple times a week for 4 weeks, with no issues. I'm mostly hardwood and marble tile, and this unit has been terrific for me. Many times I run it at 2 a.m. downstairs and it does not wake me, my wife or my dogs.

I don't know about the 10R; never ran it. I'll say my Flow does great on hard floors, doesn't jam with heavy debris and is simple to clean. Roborock seems to be the industry leader, but i have no complaints on my Narwal and I think it is a great value for the price.

I have 1700 sqft mostly marble and hardwood on my main floor. I've had my Narwal Flow since the end of August doing multiple cleanings weekly. I have 2 dogs and multiple rugs. I have the basic base station so I do have to fill and empty the tanks. The Flow looks like it has the biggest clean and dirty tanks (5L each) of the flagship track/roller units out right now, so though it uses a fair bit of water, the tanks are big so I dont need to deal with them every time I clean. The dirty tank on the bot is self cleaning, so I never have to wash it out. The landing pad in the base station is easy to pull out and clean (I do it every other week). It seems to be the quietest out right now with one of the longest lasting batteries. I usually clean in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping upstairs. The con i think is the app is not as adjustable as say Dreame, Mova or Roborock. With hard surfaces, I'd recommend doing a track or roller bot. Some say those type of bots are harder to clean and more complex. My Flow is easy.

I agree with u/FarConcern2308 that if you have the right bot you dont have to clean often. I have a Narwal Flow, and I clean the base once a month after running it 3 times a week on 1500 sqft of mostly marble and wood with two dogs. The Flow is unique in that you dont have to clean the onboard trash tank - that is cleaned automatically with an installed spinning motor with a backlash process. The landing dock in the base is also fully removable so you dont have to reach in to clean the dock at all. I think one of the biggest pluses of the Flow is the cleaning requirements, or lack there of.

I would buy a Narwal Flow or Mova Z60 through Amazon right now. They have an extended return policy in effect so you would have longer than 30 days to try something out to see if it works for your situation. I have the Flow and love it (using it since August). People are also very complimentary of the Z60. There has been some people liking the Ecovacs X11, but the mapping sounds slow and the app may not be as good. I'd stay away from the Dreame Aqua 10 Roller as there have been design flaws, though some say they are fixed now. The reason I recommend those bots is because they use track or roller mops. For hard surfaces, it just seems to be a better system, though some may argue that the spinner mops are better because they are simpler. The cleaning results with the track or roller mops are just more thorough. The Flow would be the quietest with a long battery life and a very minimal base cleaning requirement. The Mova has more down pressure with their roller, so cleaning in creavases would be better. The Flow has a track mop so the cleaning dwell time is longer since there is more of the mop surface area cleaning at any one time. What ever you decide, go through Amazon right now to take advantage of the extended return window.

Roller mops, and similar but not the same track mops, actually clean themselves as they work and collect the dirty water in an onboard tank. They are much more efficient at cleaning then because they collect much more dirt over spinning pads. Once a pad is saturated by dirt, it just moves the remaining dirt on the floor around, until it goes back to its base to clean the pads. No dirt is actually contained in the bot, so a spinning pad bot has to spend a lot more time cleaning because it has to go back to its base more often to clean itself. The key to roller mops, or track mops, is how easy it is to clean the dirty water tank on the bot itself after it is done cleaning.. All bots except the Flow require that dirty, usually smelly tank to be manually cleaned after use. The Flow cleans itself by using a string motor and a back ush system. The Aqua 10 Roller when released had a leaking problem with its base design for some of its units. It also was designed with an undersized debris tank chute, so it clogged often. Some say those issues are fixed. What's not fixed is its short battery life and its loud operating noise. Mova is a sister company to Dreame, and its design seems to be much better. For my money though, I think the Flow is better. It's quieter, has longer battery life, is easier to clean and has a track mop which has more surface area scrubbing at all time. You could always try both the Flow and Z60 from Amazon since there is the extended return window. See which one works best for you

Here's my Flow catching my boy Finny in the act. https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/s/2cIhcdZeMS But honestly, I think all bots have trouble depending on the floor background where the poop lies. In this instance, the contrast of the poop was great enough against my wood floor. Same thing happened on a brownish carpet, maybe it wouldn't have seen it. I wouldn't trust any bot on finding poop 100% of the time. The tech isn't there yet. If your access statement is about black carpet, that has been fixed by FW updates. Here's the work around I had originally, which i dont have to do now. https://www.reddit.com/r/NARWAL/s/Sa5GhDlfGw

You should consider the Narwal Flow. One of the quietest on the market, with a track not roller mop . It has one of the longest battery charge lives, and its the only one that doesn't require the onboard dirty water tank to be manually cleaned. I've had it for three months, mostly used on my 1500 sqft downstairs with majority wood and marble. I run it 3 times a week at 4 am with a wife and 2 dogs. No one wakes up and the floors are immaculate. Grout in my marble section is shallow/medium deapth. And, buy through Amazon just in case you don't like it. Extended return window. Finally, Matter has been delayed. It was supposed to be active this month, but Narwal has pushed it into 2026.

My issue was a black rug issue. I have a 4X6 rug in my entry way that is deep black and white. The bot would stop on that carpet because it registered it as a cliff. I found a work around that allowed the bot to not stop on that rug and still clean it, but it was initially frustrating. There have been FW updates that have fixed that problem for my type of situation. However, I've heard others still have a problem with black carpet. The issue isn't with the fall sensors, it is the dual RGB cameras, or more specifically, the computer logic apply to the camera data. If you have black carpet, you certainly want to make sure your Flow works on it during the return period.

Narwal Flow extends its track mop and is the only bot that self cleeans its onboard dirty tank (140 ml). I've run it for 4 months and no smell and no manuel tank cleaning.

Flow easiest to maintain and quietest. X11 best vac. Z60 best downpressure for deep groves. I have the Flow for 4 months and happy with the performance. Would buy again over any competative bots.

It's 95 mm tall so it gets under all of my cabinets and couches. When the bot reaches a 90-degree corner, it reverses the side broom, which then, through a centrifugal design, extends its reach to the full corner. It works very well, and it's simpler than a motorized extension. The mopping has been terrific for me. That said, you are so close to actually seeing the S2 at CES, and probably available to order soon after, I would just wait to see how it looks. Regardless, maintenance will be easier with the Flow because you don't have to clean the onboard dirty tank ever. The S2 is a manual clean for that onboard tank.

I came from Roombas that only used VSLAM and bumpers. The tech is so much greater now. I think that is a Narwal. I have the Narwl Flow and it does the same type of navigation, which is fantastic. I really like the Narwal design. But, I've watched enough reviews to know many of the really good bots out right now have this level of navigation. It's fascinating how advanced they're getting

So I have a dog that hates the stand-up vacuum we have, but is totally indifferent to my Flow. I think your cat would not be bothered after an acquaintance period. Mine has caught my boy pooping in my dining room before. Very embarrassing for him, but like I'm sure everyone else would say, don't trust the bot's ability to find poop/vomit all the time. Regardless of the bot, the tech is not foolproof yet. My Flow is the best self-cleaner you can get right now. You never have to clean the onboard dirty tank, which is unique to the Flow. All other track/rollers require that tank to be cleaned manually. Now the loading tray in the dock does require cleaning. I do it once a month, and I clean 3x week. I've had my Flow for 5 months. Obstacle avoidance is good, bordering on great. I won't say it will never lightly bump a chair leg, but it doesn't do it often. And I think that's the big Flow 2 upgrade. The very good obstacle avoidance should be even better with the Flow 2. Auto-dosing is not available on the Flow basic dock. It is standard on the plumbed version of the Flow. It is also standard on the Flow 2 basic dock. There is a chorus of people who think not having auto-dosing detergent on the Flow basic dock was a mistake, but honestly, it takes a second to squirt soap into the clean-water tank when you're filling it. You're already filling up the tank, so that extra second is a pretty silly hill to die on. It dries the bag, so anything wet collected by the vacuum doesn't mold inside. Depending on the level of debris in your house, the bag can last several months before you replace it.

I used to run iRobot. Really no comparison; the Flow is light years ahead in cleaning and navigation. The corner reach design works perfectly for me. Some prefer the mechanical arm reach, but the Flow gets everything out of my corners with a much simpler design. I dont worry that the design will break over time because it is only a reversible motor

Oh, wait you were talking about soap. They will say only use theirs, but I'm going to use other cheaper stuff when I run out. You just have to make sure it is low foam. I think the stuff for Shark is cheaper, and that's what I'll use probably

It is constantly ignored, but the Narwal Flow is exactly the same clean requirement as a spinner, only has all the benefits of a track/mop as far as cleaning. What people say is there is much more cleaning/maintenance on the track/rollers, usually because the onbaord dirty water tank needs regular cleaning. The Flow is self cleaning that tank. Five months in with the Flow and never manually cleaned that tank and it has never smelled once. It also doesn't have a fluffer, which needs regular cleaning. You do need to clean the landing tray, but that's the same with a spinner. The Flow gives you a track/roller clean with a spinner maintenance. Edit - the scrapper needs cleaning monthly in my 1500 sqft, 3 time a week cleaning schedule. Takes 30 seconds. The Flow 2 is an upgrade, so you may want to wait for that in April, but I don't know that it's a substantial upgrade. The real upgrade is the obstacle avoidance that no one has seen. The obstacle avoidance on my Flow 1 is great, so even if you went Flow 1 you'd be impressed.

I'd be cautious putting too much stock in really bad reviews on these channels. There are a lot of people that have had a great experience with Z60 and the Flow. It seems the people that have had a frustrating experience have an oversized voice compared to the many that like their units. The Aqua 10 had design flaws, so the higher number of bad reviews is more justified. I can't speak from experience on the Z60, but I can tell you I love my Flow. I've had it for 5 months and it has been great. Bot with the least amount of cleaning required as the onboard tank is self clean. Never had any smell the entire time I've had it. Extremely quiet with a very good battery life. I would buy it again if I needed a second bot. Z60 is louder with a shorter battery and you have to manually clean the onboard tank. But, it has more available downpressure so if you have textured floors like molded LVP it may clean the groves better. It also has a retractable LIDAR tower, so the mapping is probably faster than the Flow's rear mount LIDAR. Honestly, odds are you'd be happy with either. My personal opinion, the Flow is the way to go.

I get that. It seems there are many reviews of Dreame, Mova, and Narwal that are horror stories about their service experiences. All my interactions with Narwal have been very good. My only major example of a service interaction is when, after 6 weeks, my Flow started making sporadic squeaks on my marble and wood floors. I emailed Narwal CS the issue and they had me do some videos with the rear omnidirectional wheel removed and that seemed to fix it. So they sent me a new wheel, which took 5 days. However, the wheel didn't fix the sound, so they had me video the bot running without the track mop or mop frame installed. That seemed to fix the issue, so they said it was the frame that was extending down slightly over the hard surfaces. They sent me a new frame in 5 days. Fixed the issue and has not returned. If, for some reason, you would need a replacement bot during warranty, I do believe they will send you a refurbished bot, but it should be spotless and run like new. My experience with Narwal has not been anything but good. I don't know about the Dreame/Mova service.

How does Roborock 10r do multilevel homes? I thought that also required you to move the base station to utilize the full second floor map? I do 1500 sq ft on my main floor and 1200 on my second floor with the same single Narwal Flow. I move the base to do it so I can get all rooms I want. I agree, if you don't move the base it is very limited, but i think that is because the onboard tanks don't accommodate large areas of cleaning without emptying the dirty tank and filling up the clean tank. Do other guys do it differently?

I've never owned a Roborock, so i can't give you a comparison. But I've owned my Flow for months and it has been terrific. I run it at 4 am 3 times a week and my floors have never been cleaner. 2 dogs and have never clogged.

I have 1500 sq ft downstairs, where I clean multiple times a week (at least some of the rooms, and the entire place once a week). My kitchen, dining room, and office are smooth, sealed hardwood. My front entryway and foyer are black marble, with shallow grout lines. My downstairs bath/shower has textured LVP imitation wood planks with deeper grout lines. My Flow has no problem cleaning any of it. The Mova Z60 may do better on really deep, cavernous flooring, as you indicated below. It has slightly more down pressure available (it's a heavier bot). But if you have low to medium-textured LVP, the Flow should clean it all.

I would still think the Flow would get that. My bathroom with textured LVP has crevases that pose no problem in cleaning. It's a really good time to buy a bot through Amazon with their extended return window, just in case it doesn't work for you. If you get a Z60, you'd get more down pressure, but it requires more manual cleaning of the bot more frequently, is louder and the battery life per charge is smaller.

That is true of all the roller mops out now. They require manual cleaning of the dirty water collection tank on the bot. That is not true for the track mop design of the Flow. The dirty tank on the Flow is cleaned automatically by the base station after a cleaning job is complete. The tank has a molded-in stirring motor, and it uses high-pressure water/air to backflush its system multiple times during the cleaning process. The stirring motor cavitates the water as it is being pumped in and out of that tank, allowing anything that might have been stuck on the sides of the tank to be dispelled. I've been running my bot for 3 months, and there has been no smell. From what I've read and watched, the Flow's entire design to clean the bot -- track mop, scrapper bar, trash and fresh water tanks, is the industry's best. Not once has a foul odor come from my bot, and when I've done a manual cleaning of my system (omnidirectional rear wheel, scrapper bar, track mop housing), there really isn't much to clean. The base station's dirty water tank can smell if you don't clean it regularly or you don't have a method to counteract the smell, but that's true for spinning mops too. I use a denture tab in the tank and it keeps it odorless until I clean it out on the weekend. As far as corners, you are correct, a roller or track mop is not able to mop it. The geometry makes it impossible. Spinning mops are better in that respect. It's a trade-off between cleaner corners and a cleaner floor, absent the corners.

I’m in a similar boat (US based) with extensive hardwood floors and scattered low pile area rugs. 2 young children and plenty of long hair to vacuum. Bought the S1 Pro in 11/2024 - clearly outdated by the robot vac/mop updated by all brands in 2025. Hands-off and accurate navigation, thorough maintenance mopping (not 3 day old ketchup as the marketing tests love), and corner/edge vacuuming are the biggest priorities. I’m ordering the MOVA Z60 for the 9/16 release - $1199 w/ 3 yr warranty is attractive. Don’t think the price will be lower than that even w/ Black Friday/Christmas. I’m tempted by the Eufy S2 Pro as well - the water ionization is honestly more a gimmick, and the seemingly similar large dirty water tank is still there - and it’s my least favorite thing about the S1. But the vacuum tech is upgraded in addition to extending side brush. Narwal Flow I think is also a reasonable option - but the fact that they will likely release the upgraded version after 1/2026 makes me hesitant. The pre-order for $1090 w/ 3 yr warranty and extra accessories pack was a steal though.

FWIW - I have the MOVA V50 as well (in addition to an S1 Pro). GREAT robot vac/mop albeit w/ extendable spinning pads. Mapping/navigation for me has been excellent. The battery drainage is suboptimal but manageable - I’ve heard the Z60 does a better job w/ battery consumption. As for the Z60, I’m not picky about a self-cleaning dirty water tank especially if it’s small, removable, and easy to access (rear of Z60). I also prefer the retractable/extending LIDAR format of the Dreame/MOVA brands over the Narwal Flow. The Flow seems like a good robot esp w/ the track style, just not sure in my reality of 2-3 scheduled mop sessions weekly that the track will outperform the roller to any notable degree. The track pads (Dreame/MOVA) have been implemented and marketed heavily in Asian markets as well, where I’m sure there’s generally more tiled and hard flooring (vs. carpets, hardwood, and engineered hard floors common in the US market).

I'd recommend the Flow from your list, sticky spills and hair it handles really well
